Lost and found

This Centipede had lost its way and was wandering around at work where it was found by a colleague who called me, asking whether I was afraid of bugs. I asked her to keep an eye on it while I fetched a plastic cup to put it in. There wasn't a suitable spot to release it anywhere nearby so, after covering the cup with some cling film in which I made a hole big enough for air, the Centipede spent the duration of my shift in my locker. After finishing my shift, I put the cup in my bag and took it home with me on the bus. I released the Centipede not far from the stop where I got off the bus, as there is quite a large area there with grass, shrubs and trees.

I tried to take a few photos of the Centipede after releasing it, but those weren't very good so I'm posting one of the shots I took of it just before its release.

A big thank you for the lovely comments and stars on yesterday's Specked Wood butterfly blip. As always, they are very much appreciated.
